First name to go with middle name Joanna

Girl Names
1

Hi!!

My husband and I are looking for a first name that we love to go with the middle name Joanna.

Joanna is a very special combination of family names for us, of his grandfather’s first name (Joe), his mother’s middle name (Anna), and my mother’s middle name (Joanne).

We just don’t have the same excitement/agreement over first names. My husband loves gender neutral names like Riley and Max, and I prefer classic/ old lady names like Maude and Mabel.

So far the ones we agree on are Iris, Austen, and Alice, we just don’t love how they sound with Joanna. We also have a 9 letter Scottish last name so shorter first names are also preferred by us both!

We would love your suggestions! Thanks :blush:

I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] :rainbow:

I was wondering would you consider [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] as a first name? She’s an underused classic that I feel deserves more attention. Also you clearly both love [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] so that’s another bonus!

How about [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]? I think [name_f]Isla[/name_f] sounds lovely with [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], even though they both end in a. Although it isn’t considered gender neutral or vintage anywhere, so far as I know, I thought it was similar enough in sound to [name_f]Iris[/name_f], which you both like, to mention it!

Sorry for any repeats

I would suggest a lovely name with a gender neutral nick name, or a letter nn such as:

[name_u]Alexis[/name_u] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] nn [name_u]Alex[/name_u]
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nicki[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rae[/name_u]
[name_f]Mable[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] nn MJ
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] nn AJ

[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] has such a lovely meaning! How about:

[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

[name_u]Fern[/name_u]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Celine[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Avani[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
